iPhone file transfers, internet connections

is it safe to assume i will be able to trasfer word files between the iPhone and a mac without an internet connection? i understand the iPhone can open word docs attached to emails. can i transfer word files to the iPhone via bluetooth/usb/airport. i don't have internet at home, only the office. can i take my laptop home, have docs emailed to my iphone, then transfer them to my mac? and the reverse?

maybe this is obvious. if so, my apologies.

could i use the iPhone's internet connection on a laptop at home? (i know it would be slow, but is it possible)?

I'm not sure I understand. Sounds like you're being dismissive of my concern. I just read some user comments at MacDaily News that indicated iPhone users were unable to transfer Word and PDF docs to the iPhone without using email. Is any iPhone user able to accomplish this relatively simple task?

Dismissive of your concern?

That had nothing to do with the reason I said, "Nevermind."

If not dismissive then completely unhelpful. Now to point out the obvious: Why wouldn't he get upset that you did not adequately answer his question when he specifically started this thread to ask them? Compare your one word reply with Jupiter's. Not everyone is familiar with the iPhone's every technical detail.

I tried to respond to your "nevermind" post politely and clearly indicated that I wasn't sure what the point of your post was. And now you've still got to be a smartass instead of offer an apology for the confusion you caused or simply remain silent. Next time, if you don't have something constructive to post, why not refrain from posting?

As for the other posts, I appreciate the informative- if disappointing- responses. Not being able to transfer Word/PDF/etc files via USB or bluetooth-and at least read them- seems like a strange omission.

Apologize?!?!

Okay... I'm sure Guybrush is deeply sorry that YOU made an obviously unwarranted snap judgement about his one word message instead of just nicely asking him to explain what he meant... It was you who incorrectly assumed he was being "dismissive" of your concern.

Taking him at his word he wasn't being "dismissive" ... but *I* know that (now) *I* simply couldn't care less of your concerns past, present or future.

Next time, if you don't have something constructive to post, why not refrain from posting?

Constructive, huh?

I'm sure you clearly understand the meaning of the word.

This is coming from a guy who uses these forums, much less the internet, only during his office hours. I'm sure you're very constructive while at work. Remind me not to apply to your firm in the future.

Then again, browsing AppleInsider all day wouldn't be half bad...
